10.28.06Galaxy Highland Seeing this in the new Disney 3D (which is great). they played an early Pixar short (the one with the snowman trying to get out of his snowglobe) in newly-rendered 3D as well. The short had great 3D, the film was much more subtle. I actually had to take the glasses off at first to make sure I was seeing 3D at all. I don't know if that's just how the process works or if it's the controlled color pallette of this particular film or what, but the 3d was definitely pretty subtle. It still looked good though and since I haven't seen this movie since its original theatrical run, I figured it was time to see it again.

I remember now why I wasn't so hot on this the first time around. I'll probably have that damn "this is Halloween" song in my head for a month. argh. Actually... I still think there's too much singing in it, for me at least. the design is good though and the animation, story, all that stuff. There's really no reason why I shouldn't like this movie more than I do... something about it keeps me just shy of really loving it though. who knows what.
